Co-Owner

Alison brings 17 years of gymnastics coaching experience through the International Elite level, with over 75 state, regional & national champions as well as TOPs National Team Members. She moved to Palm Desert in 2006 from Arizona, where she worked at a gymnastics facility as Program Director and coach. There she was nominated AZ Choreographer of the Year and AZ Coach of the Year; coached at the Junior Olympic National Championships, US Classic and Visa Championships; and earned her certification as a level 10 judge. After moving to the desert, she worked as a Media and Events Marketing Manager before coming back to gymnastics in 2010.

She currently coaches the level 7 and higher athletes for our Aftershock Gymnastics Team. When her watchful-eye is off from her team duties, you may catch her "Shaking Her Sillies Out" with a preschool group, high-fiving passer-bys or scheming up fun activities for our PowerKids. Her favorite job of all? Helping out with the development our awesome, enthusiastic staff.

Her and husband Rolland welcomed their daughter, Sawyer Grace, on their second wedding anniversary in 2011. Sawyer Grace can often be seen out in the gym with Mommy, twirling during a pretend floor routine, waving down a coach for help swinging the bars, smiling at her fellow PowerKids, or even "working" the office with her favorite honorary Aunt, Jeannette.
